Sartre Is Smartre
Carlton links to the Jean-Paul Sartre Cooking Diary, which reminds me of the Sartre bit on The Simpsons. This is when the Critic, Jay Sherman was visiting Springfield and staying over at the Simpson family residence.
Marge: Oh, I invited my sisters over.
Jay: Ooh, sisters. Allow me.
[walks off to answer door; screams]
Jay: [on the couch] So then I said to Woody Allen, "Well, Camus can
do, but Sartre is smartre!"
[Patty laughs]
Selma: So original.
Marge: How droll!
Homer: Yeah, well, "Scooby Doo can doo-doo, but Jimmy Carter is smarter."
[a bale of detritus blows across the living room]
I believe that was a tumbleweed...
